Metrics API

Using the Metrics API

You can use the Metrics API to periodically poll for data about your cluster, hosts, containers, and applications. The Metrics API is one way to get metrics from DC/OS. It is designed for occasional targeted access to specific tasks and hosts. It is not the best way to get a comprehensive picture of all metrics on DC/OS. Refer to Prometheus and third-party plugins for metrics documentation.

The Metrics API is backed by Telegraf, which runs on all nodes in the cluster.
